# Manage VPN Users
*Read this in other languages: [English](manage-users.md), [简体中文](manage-users-zh.md).*
By default, a single user account for VPN login is created. If you wish to view or manage users, read this document.
- [View or update the IPsec PSK](#view-or-update-the-ipsec-psk)
- [View VPN users](#view-vpn-users)
- [Manage VPN users using helper scripts](#manage-vpn-users-using-helper-scripts)
- [Manually manage VPN users](#manually-manage-vpn-users)
## View or update the IPsec PSK
The IPsec PSK (pre-shared key) is stored in `/etc/ipsec.secrets`. All VPN users will share the same IPsec PSK. The format of this file is:
```bash
%any %any : PSK "your_ipsec_pre_shared_key"
```
To change to a new PSK, just edit this file. DO NOT use these special characters within values: `\ " '`
You must restart services when finished:
```bash
service ipsec restart
service xl2tpd restart
```
## View VPN users
By default, the VPN setup scripts will create the same VPN user for both `IPsec/L2TP` and `IPsec/XAuth ("Cisco IPsec")` modes.
For `IPsec/L2TP`, VPN users are specified in `/etc/ppp/chap-secrets`. The format of this file is:
```bash
"username1" l2tpd "password1" *
"username2" l2tpd "password2" *
... ...
```
For `IPsec/XAuth ("Cisco IPsec")`, VPN users are specified in `/etc/ipsec.d/passwd`. Passwords in this file are salted and hashed. See [Manually manage VPN users](#manually-manage-vpn-users) for more details.
## Manage VPN users using helper scripts
You may use these scripts to more easily manage VPN users: [add_vpn_user.sh](https://github.com/hwdsl2/setup-ipsec-vpn/blob/master/extras/add_vpn_user.sh), [del_vpn_user.sh](https://github.com/hwdsl2/setup-ipsec-vpn/blob/master/extras/del_vpn_user.sh) and [update_vpn_users.sh](https://github.com/hwdsl2/setup-ipsec-vpn/blob/master/extras/update_vpn_users.sh). They will update users for both IPsec/L2TP and IPsec/XAuth ("Cisco IPsec"). Replace command parameters below with your own values.
**Note:** VPN users are stored in `/etc/ppp/chap-secrets` and `/etc/ipsec.d/passwd`. The scripts will backup these files before making changes, with `.old-date-time` suffix.
### Add or edit a VPN user
Add a new VPN user, or update an existing VPN user with a new password.
```bash
# Download the script
wget -O add_vpn_user.sh https://bit.ly/addvpnuser
```
```bash
# All values MUST be placed inside 'single quotes'
# DO NOT use these special characters within values: \ " '
sudo sh add_vpn_user.sh 'username_to_add' 'password'
# OR
sudo sh add_vpn_user.sh 'username_to_update' 'new_password'
```
### Delete a VPN user
Delete the specified VPN user.
```bash
# Download the script
wget -O del_vpn_user.sh https://bit.ly/delvpnuser
```
```bash
# All values MUST be placed inside 'single quotes'
# DO NOT use these special characters within values: \ " '
sudo sh del_vpn_user.sh 'username_to_delete'
```
### Update all VPN users
Remove all existing VPN users and replace with the list of users you specify.
```bash
# Download the script
wget -O update_vpn_users.sh https://bit.ly/updatevpnusers
```
To use this script, choose one of the following options:
**Important:** This script will remove **ALL** existing VPN users and replace them with the list of users you specify. Therefore, you must include any existing user(s) you want to keep in the variables below.
**Option 1:** Edit the script and enter VPN user details:
```bash
nano -w update_vpn_users.sh
[Replace with your own values: YOUR_USERNAMES and YOUR_PASSWORDS]
sudo sh update_vpn_users.sh
```
**Option 2:** Define VPN user details as environment variables:
```bash
# List of VPN usernames and passwords, separated by spaces
# All values MUST be placed inside 'single quotes'
# DO NOT use these special characters within values: \ " '
sudo \
VPN_USERS='username1 username2 ...' \
VPN_PASSWORDS='password1 password2 ...' \
sh update_vpn_users.sh
```
## Manually manage VPN users
For `IPsec/L2TP`, VPN users are specified in `/etc/ppp/chap-secrets`. The format of this file is:
```bash
"username1" l2tpd "password1" *
"username2" l2tpd "password2" *
... ...
```
You can add more users, use one line for each user. DO NOT use these special characters within values: `\ " '`
For `IPsec/XAuth ("Cisco IPsec")`, VPN users are specified in `/etc/ipsec.d/passwd`. The format of this file is:
```bash
username1:password1hashed:xauth-psk
username2:password2hashed:xauth-psk
... ...
```
Passwords in this file are salted and hashed. This step can be done using e.g. the `openssl` utility:
```bash
# The output will be password1hashed
# Put your password inside 'single quotes'
openssl passwd -1 'password1'
```
